Zoa vs superglue guestion

[vivioo7]

While I was glueing a zoa to a rock today I accidentally got glue on the underside of the skirt. Will the zoa make it is there anything I can do? This is my only polyp of this species so I really dont want to lose it.

It will be fine. The protective slime the zoa secretes will separate it from the superglue and the superglue itsself becomes inert once it hits water, at least the outershell that instantly hardens. I have glued many and many zoas that were not attatched to anything, working the glue in between the zoathid stolons (rootlike structure interconnecting them together) so as to build a base for them.

It should be fine i did the samething about a week ago with some alpha and omegas and within a hour or so the polyp was fully open.
